… I was excited by the mere prospect of sober Chik-Fil-A consumption (I’d had it a couple times while drunk in Florida).

I went to the mall, ordered the chicken sandwich combo, took a seat, took a bite. It’s a chicken sandwich with pickles. That’s it. There is absolutely nothing special about it whatsoever. It’s a bit dry, actually. A bit stale. The breading was KFC-level mediocre.

“KFC-level”? This aggression will not stand, man.

Secession was wrong and so is this:

Also, congrats, SEC fans: In your reflexive need to react against carpetbagger Yankees with torches and pitchforks, you just inadvertently stuck up for the BCS and placed Jim Delany — JIM DELANY, PEOPLE — on the side of Dan Wetzel and the other BCS antagonists. He might be the defender of the Rose Bowl, but you have become the defenders of a status quo that everyone uniformly hates.

WTH is Jiffy cornbread? If you’re buying premixed cornbread, its not cornbread. Oh, and the only thing that should ever be put in cornbread is cracklin’s and maybe some diced Jalapeno’s. You can then smother it with butter.

The solution is simple: continue to beat the crap out of every team the B1G puts up in bowl (especially MNC) competition (minus the cheaters) and let them talk their obnoxious, South-hating, non-Chick-fil-A-appreciating mouths off.

No one will care what this moron wrote about CFA or southerners when the next Crystal Football sits in a SEC trophy case. (Or the one after that, or the one after that…)

My thoughts exactly. Why are we allowing ourselves to be trolled by this idiot? Everything about the South is definitively superior than its counterpart to the North, particularly in B1G country. So his trolling is so ridiculous that it doesn’t deserve discussion.

These days I live in the DFW area and the Chick-Fil-A’s here are kind of sad. The water is too hard to really appreciate the tea (imagine Florida tea x 2). The fries are soggier. The sandwich is drier. And it’s not just a particular store. It’s all of the ones I’ve been to here. Maybe Chick-Fil-A is just inferior outside of the south? Maybe Truett Cathy needs to do a tour of the midwest, find the franchise owners, and slap their mommas in the mouth? Whatever the cause, I don’t have the burning desire to eat Chick-Fil-A at least once per week like I did when I lived in Georgia and that’s a real shame.

The sandwiches probably have to do with the fact that CFA stealthily removed a large amount of sodium from them a few years back, and the fries are a little different now that they’re cooked in canola oil instead of peanut oil.

Not only is football better in the south, but so is our food, Chic-fil-A didn’t invent chicken just the chicken sandwich. The north just gets upset when its proven time and time again that the south is better. They know its better too otherwise they wouldn’t come down here on vacation. There is a reason why Walt Disney didn’t build the happiest place on earth in Akron, Ohio. Thats the reason why all the yankee retirees retire to Florida. They don’t even want to stay up there. So for all the yankees that read this I leave you with this: Why do all the pine trees in Georgia tend to lean towards the North?……..cause Ohio SUCKS!

I have never been fond of Chick-Fil-A myself. Nor do I understand why everyone gets all excited about a plain and boring chicken sandwich. But, a fool and his money are easily separated. More power to Truett though. Can not knock his hustle.

The comments section following that misguided screed are hilarious. There’s nothing like being thought of as an ignorant redneck by some beefy, cornfed Iowa farmhand to put a little extra spring in a southern boy’s step. Even Macon is Paris compared to centers of enlightenment like Dubuque or Cedar Rapids.

They’re all welcome to stay amongst the corn husks and the cowpies in Iowa and look down their overalls at us, while those of us lucky enough to be down here in God’s country will go right on enjoying sweet tea, chik-fil-a sandwiches, and the most kick ass college football played anywhere in these here United States of America. You Micheal Moore resembling midwestern crybabies go right ahead doing things your way (loving Slowhio State football, 3 month old snowdrifts and scrapple) and us ignorant Southern folk will go right ahead doing things the right way (winning BCS titles, sunshine and cornbread with pork cracklins).

Grizzard is buzzing in my mind right now. Should we unleash “theLewis” on there asses? It’s really no wonder they’re bitter. Our ladies have been in sleeveless dresses for three months. Theirs, probably not.

Talked to this yankee gal today. She said she and hubby had lived in the ATL for 7 years and decided to move back “home” (NY or Boston or Maine or somewhere like that) to have and raise their kids. She said a year later, they were back in Atlanta because it felt more like home than where they were raised (bless their hearts).

I lived in Nebraska and traveled extensively in Iowa, Kansas and some of the rest of the middle of nowhere. For anyone from the midwest to be a food critic is rich. You can literally starve to death out there looking for a good place to eat.

So from the comments, chick-fil-a sucks but scrapple is good. Um ok, guess we’ll have to console ourselves with winning football while they get to bask in the glow of free tats and pedophile d coordinators.

How can a state that ranks first in the country in pigs produced have exactly zero BBQ joints? This isn’t a Memphis/Kansas City rub/sauce debate. The closest they come to BBQ in Iowa are boiled ribs doused in spicy ketchup.

I wonder what Iowa would consider its signature dish? Double-cut pork chop with a high-fructose corn syrup glaze?

Yes I went there. Neil need not reply! ;-)
The South has the best looking ladies, the best sour mash whiskey, and the best college football and no one owns a snow shovel.
And ….Lewis is from here!

Quote Of The Day

“It brings back a great Bulldog running back in Thomas who has NFL playing experience and has had success as a college coach at multiple schools. He also inherits a position that has been built to an elite level by Bryan. And it gives Bryan the opportunity to return to coaching the position he played and the one where he cut his teeth serving as a graduate assistant under wide receiver coach John Eason here at UGA. It also provides him with a new experience as a passing game coordinator.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 2/16/15
